To all 'whom t may concern: v

Be it known that I, LE GRAND C. BUSH, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Elkhart, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Recording Time- Locks,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in recording time locksadapted tobe operated by any one of a series of keysandtheprimary object of theinvent-ion vis to vprovide an improved device of this character soconstructed that no key can be inserted to Veither lock or unlock theclosure t`0 which it is applied without automatically making a completerecord of the operation and one which will record the exact time whenthe operation is effected and also designate the particular keyemployed.v

A further object is to provide improved means whereby a key may beinserted into the lock to operate the recording mechanism to obtain arecord of Vsuch key or operation without locking or unlocking the lock.

` A further object is to provide improved means for automaticallysetting or adjusting the recording mechanism.

A further object is to provide an improved device of this characterwhich will be simple, durable and cheap in construction and effectiveand efficient in operation.

To the attainment of these ends and the accomplishment of other new anduseful objects, as will appear, the invent-ion consists in the featuresof novelty in the construetion, combination and arrangement of theseveral parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown inthe accompanying drawings illustrating an embodiment of the invention,and in which Figure l is a. front elevation of an improved lock of thischaracter constructed in accordance with the principles of thisinvention and with the casing in section.

Fig.23, is a detail view of one end of an operating key which cooperateswith Figs. 19 and 22. Fig. 24 is an enlarged detail elevation of aportion of the hour wheel showing the difference between the indicatingcharacters for the day and the night. Fig. 25 is a detail view of a.portion of n record such as is obtained from the recording mechanism.

Referring more particularly to the drawings and in the presentexemplification of the invention, the lock is shown as being applied toa door 30 and comprises a rectangular casing 31 having a portionof itsfront 32 closed and the remaining portion open and closed bya suitableclosure 33 (see Figs. 2 and 3) which closure is preferably provided Witha lip 34 adapted to engage under the edge of the closed portion 32, andis also provided with a suitable fastening device 35, such as a lock orthe like, for fastening the closure in position and this lock is adaptedto be operated by a key in the ordinary and usual manner. This closureserves as a means whereby access may be had to the interior of thecasing and to the working parts of the mechanism whereby the tape may beremoved after the record has been obtained or for any ot-her desiredpurpose.

A locking bolt designated generally by the reference numeral 36 in Fig.14, provided with an enlarged end 37, is mounted for sliding movementwithin the casing 31 adjacent the back 38 of the casing and near thelower end thereof, so that the enlarged portion 37 thereof is adapted topass through one side of the casing. This bolt is preferably guided andremovably secured in position by means of projecting lugs 39, which passthrough suitable elongated apertures or slots 40 in the body of thebolt. The bolt is adapted to be shot or moved forward and backward bymeans of a cam 41, which is mounted for pivotal movement on a suitablesupport, preferably the back 38 of the casing and adjacent the bottomthereof, and is provided with an opening 42 in its body'portion whichterminates in a narrow slot or recess 43 adjacent the upper extremity 44of the cam and has communication with the opening 42. The body of thebolt is'preferably provided with an upwardly projecting portion 45,having a pin or lug 46 adjacent its extremity and which projectslaterally therefrom.

The pin or projection 46 is adapted to enter the slot or recess 43 inthe cam 41, so that when the cam is rocked about its pivot 47 the boltwill be moved forwardly and backwardly. This cam 41 is adapted to bemoved about its pivot by means of a projection 48 extending from theface of an operating tumbler 49, (shown more clearly in Fig. 7,) whichlatter is rotatably mounted in the casing 31. The projection 48 on thetumbler or cam 49 projects into the opening 42 in the cam 41 and isadapted to enga-ge shoulders 50, 51 on the cam, to move the latter aboutits pivot in either direction. )Vlien the tumbler Or cam 49 is rotated,the projection 48 thereon will move the cam 41 about itspivot and shootthe bolt 36 according to the direction of movement of the Cam 49.

Pivotally mounted within the casing is a locking dog 52, one end ofwhich is offset laterally as at 53 (shown more clearly in Fig. 17,) andthe dog is provided with another lateral offset portion or projection 54adjacent the offset portion 53 and on the opposite face of t-he dog. Theoffset portion 53 is adapted to enter and rest in suitable notches 55 inthe body of the bolt 36, to hold the bolt in either of its positions,and is adapted to be raised out of engagement with the slots by means ofthe pin or projection 48 on the cam or tumbler 49. rThe cam 41 is alsoprovided with shoulders 50a, 51a adjacent the recess or slot 43, whichare also adapted to be engaged by the pin or projection 48 to move thebolt 36. The locking dog 52 is provided with a shoulder or projectingportion 55a, which is adapted to be engaged by the projection 48 on thecam 49 as the latter is rotated so as to raise the dog against t-hetension of the spring or elastic member 56, which latter is provided formoving the projection 53 into engagement with one of the notches 55 whenthe projection 48 moves out of engagement with the projection 55a.Additional means is also provided for moving the bolt 36 through themedium of a. separate key and comprises a rotatable shaft 57, (see Fig.5,) which is journaled in any suitable support adjacent the dog 52, andis provided with a cam 58 at one end thereof. This cam 58 is providedwith a laterally project-ing pin or lug 59, which extends preferablyfrom the outer face of the cam. When the shaft 57 is rotated, the cam 58moves into and out of engagement with the projecting port-ion 54 on thelocking dog 52 to raise the projection 53 outl of the slot 55 in thebolt and against the tension of the elast-ic member 56, so that the dogwill move about its pivot 60. The free end of the shaft 57 is providedwith a key seat 61 which extends into a barrel 62, sup ported in anydesired or suitable manner, preferably by means of a support 63, whichis secured to and spaced from the back 38 of the inclosing casing bymeans of suitable fastening devices 64. A key 65 is provided forrotating the shaft 57, and an elastic member 66 is also provided whichis supported preferably by the support 63 and extends into the barrel 62through an open` ing 67 therein to form an obstruction for the key andto prevent the operation of the shaft by the insertion of an improperkey. W hen the locking dog 52 is raised, the bolt 36 is moved by meansof the projecting pin or lug 59 on the cam 58, which projecting pin orlug is adapted to enter the space GS formed between two laterallyprojecting members or portions 69 secured to the face of the bolt. 36and in such positions that the pin or lug 59 will engage the respectivepin or lug 69 to move the bolt in either direction, according to thedirection of rotation of the shaft 57. In order to limit the rotation ofthe shaft 57 in either direction, spaced lugs 70 are provided which aresecured to the bolt 36 and extend from the same face as the l projection69. These lugs or projections 70 are arranged in the path of movement ofthe lug or projection 59. and are adapted to be respectively engagedthereby when the bolt has reached the limit of its movement in eitherdirection. The bolt 36 is provided with an opening 71 in its bodyportion which coincides with the opening 42 in thc cam 41, so as topermit the pin or extension 48 on the cam or tumbler 49 to projectthrough the body of the bolt so as to engage the projecting portion 55aon locking dog 52 to raise the latter.

A stud or post 72' is located at substantially the center of the casing31 a suitable distance above the bolt 36 and is preferably removablysecured to the back 38 by one end and by its other end to a suit-ablesupport or plate 73, which latter is held in position by means ofsuitable fastening devices 74a passing through the plate and engagingthe back 38 of the casing. Rotatably mounted upon this stud or post 72and for independent rotation thereon is an hour wheel 74, a minute wheel75, and a wheel or disk 76, which will hereinafter be designated as thedays-of-tbe-week wheel, as the periphery thereof is provided with thedays of the week. The hour disk or Wheel is provided on its peripherywith two sets of numbers 7 7, 78, each set progressing successively from1 to 12, and arranged in series about the periphery. One of the set-s ofnumbers, preferably the set 77, is provided for indicating the hours ofthe morning while the other set 78 is provided for indicating the hoursof the afternoon and evening, and any suitable means may be provided fordifferentiating between these two series, such for instance, as theprovision of an indicating line or mark 79 arranged below each of thenumerals of one series. The minute wheel is provided with a series ofnumbers about its periphery progressing successively from l to 60, asshown more clearly, in Fig. 2. Projecting from one face of the hourwheel 74 are ratchet teeth 80, (shown more clearly in Figs. 2, 9 and13,) and secured also to the hour wheel isa cam 81.

The minute wheel 75 is located in close proximity to the hour wheel 74,and is pro-V vided with ratchet teeth 82 on one face, preferably on theouter face of the wheel or the face away from the hour wheel 74. Securedalso to the minute wheel 75 is a cam 83 similar to the cani 81, and thiscam 83 is preferably located between the wheels 74 and 75. Thedays-of-the-week wheel 76 is provided with ratchet teeth 84 on its outerface or its face farthest. from the minute wheel 75. Coperating with theratchet teeth of the hour wheel 74 is a dog or pawl 85, (see Figs. 2 and9), and this dog or pawl is supported for bodily movement with andindependent pivotal movement with respect to an arm or lever 86, whicharm or lever is mounted for pivotal movement to any suitable support,preferably the back 38 of the casin by means of a suitable fasteningdevice 8 One extremity 88 of the arm 86 is bent as shown in Fig. 2 toform a laterally projecting portion and the extremity of this portion isdeflected to form a portion parallel with the body of the arm 86 and thefastening device 87 passes through the body of the arm and thisdeflected portion and serves as a means for spacing the arm from theback of the casing.

A suitable elastic member 89 is provided which tends normally to holdthe dog in engagement with the ratchet teeth 8O of the wheel 74, and asuitable projection 90 is provided which engages a beveled face 91 onthe dog 85 and tends to direct the extremity 92 of the dog intoengagement with the ratchet teeth. When the arm 86 is rocked, the dogwill be moved to a position to cause the extremity 92 thereof to engagethe next tooth of the ratchet 80, so that on the forward movement of thedog the wheel 74 will move one step of rotation. The free extremity ofthe arm 86 extends between the hour wheel 74 and the minute wheel 75 andinto the path of movement of the cam 83, so thatwhen the cam 83 isrotated, the arm will be rocked to cause the hour wheel 74 to be movedone step of rotation. )Vlien the arm 86 is moved to position the dog 85toadvance its coperating wheel, tension will be created upon an elasticmember or spring 89, so that when the cam 83 moves to a position topermit the arm 86 to return, the elastic member will move the arm into aposition to advance the dog 85. If desired, the arm86 may be providedwith a projection 90, which engages a shoulder 91 on a suitable support92 for limiting the movement of the arm in one direction.

Cooperating with the ratchet teeth 84 on the days-of-the-week wheel 76is a dog 93 (see Figs. 8 and 9), and this dog is mounted for pivotalmovement with respect to and bodily movable with an arm 93, and a`spring or elastic member is provided which tends normally to hold thedog 93 in engagement with the ratchet teeth 84. The arm 94 is mountedfor pivotal movement about the pivot 96, and the end 97 of the armadjacent the pivot 96 is deflected laterally as shown, and thislaterally deflected portion extends toward the back 38 of the casing,and the extremity 98 of the deflected portion 97 is bent to form aportion extending substantially parallel with the body of the arm 94.The extremity of this latter portion is arranged in close proximity toand within the movement of the cam 81 on the wheel 74, so that when thelatter is rotated, the cam as it moves will raise the extremity 98 ofthe arm 94 to rock the latter and to raise the pawl 93 to a position tocause its extremity 99 thereof to move into engagement with the nexttooth of the ratchet 84. As the cam 81 advances after having raised thearm, the arm will be returned to its normal position by means of asuitable elastic member 100, one extremity 101 of which engages asuitable projection on the arm 94, and the other extremity engages asuitable fixed support, whereby a tension will be created upon theelastic member as the arm is raised. During this deseending or returnmovement of the arm 94,

the dog 98 will advance or impart one step of rotation to thedays-of-the-Week Wheel 76. A suitable projection 102 may be provided onthe dog 93 which extends through an opening 103 on the support or plate73 and cooperates n'ith one of the Walls of the opening to limit. themovement of the dog 93 and arm 94 under the influence of the elasticmember 101. A suitable retaining paivl 104 (see Fig. 1) is providedwhich engages the ratchet teeth 84 of the Wheel 76 for preventingretrograde-movement of the wheel, and an elastic member 105 is alsoprovided for controlling the pawl.

The minute Wheel 75 is intermittently rotated by mea-ns of areciprocating arm or dog 106, (shown more clearly in Figs. 1 and 8,) oneextremity 107 of which is adapted to engage and coperate with theratchet teeth S2 on the minute Wheel. A suitable guide 1073, which issecured to and spaced from the support 92, is provided for guiding anddirecting the arm or dog 106 during its movement. The arm or dog 106 ispreferably provided with a projecting .portion 108, which is adapted toengage a fixed member preferably a pivot 96 of the arm 94, so that asthe arm or dog 106 is reciprocated, the extremity 107 thereof Will bemoved into engagement with the ratchet teeth 82. A retaining dog 109 isprovided for locking the minute wheel 75 against retrograde movement,and an elastic member 110 is also provided for yieldingly holding thedog 109 1n engagement with the teeth.

Any suitable means may be provided for intermittently reciprocating thearm or support 106, and for this purpose there may be provided suitableelectroresponsive devices 111, which are supported within the casing 31by means of a suitable support 112, and the conductors 113 leading tothe electroresponsive .devices are secured to suitable binding posts114, to which the feed Wires may be connected and which Wires may passthrough a suitable pening 115 in the back of the casing. Coperating withthe electroresponsive devices 111 is an armature 116` which is pivotallymounted at one end as at 117 to a suitable support 118, which latter isin turn secured to any suitable fixed support. One extremity1 of the armor dog 106 is pivotally connected as at 119 t0 the free extremity of thearmature and an elastic member 120, such as a spring or the like, issecured by one extremity to the arm 106 beyond its pivot 119, and by itsother extremity to the armature 116, and tends normally to draw the freeend 107 of the arm toward the ratchet teeth 82 of the. minute wheel 7 5.A suitable elastic member 121 is also provided, one` extremity of whichis secured to the armature remote from its lpivot 117 and the other to asuitable fixed support, and this elast-ic member 121 tends normally tomove the armature 116 about its pivot and away from theelectroresponsive devices 111. Then the electroresponsive devices areenergized, which may be accomplished intermittently in any desired orsuitable manner, preferably through the medium of a clock of anyordinary and well known construction, which is adapted to intermittentlymake and break the circuit to the electroresponsive devices, and whichit is not necessary to illustrate,'the armature 116 will be drawn to-Ward the electroresponsive devices to be moved about its pivot, and thismovement of the armature will move the extremity 107 of the arm 106 intoengagement with the next tooth of the ratchet 82. When theelectroresponsive devices are denergized, the elastic member 121 willreturn the armature or move it away from the electroresponsive devicesand will also move the arm 106 to impart one step of rotation to theminute Wheel 75. The characters on the Wheels 74, 75 and 76I arepreferably in the form of type which project beyond the periphery, sothat when a sheet or strip of paper is pressed against one or more ofthe characters an impression will be produced upon the paper.

Pivotally mounted upon the stud or post 72, preferably intermediate itsends and adjacent the hour wheel 74, is a segment 122, (shown moreclearly in Figs. 13 and 15,) which is provided adjacent one extremitywith a laterally projecting pin or lug 123. The other end of the segmentis preferably deflected laterally to form a flange 124 on the peripheryon which is provided a series of indicating characters 125, which arealso preferably in the form of type, to indicate or designate theparticular key used to operate the lock, and in the manner to be setforth. The faces of the type on the segment 122 are so arranged as to beflush with the faces of the numerals o-r characters on the peripheriesof the various record Wheels. A suitable elastic member 126, such as acoil spring or the like, is provided, which preferably surrounds thestud or post 72, and one exremity of the elastic member engages thelaterally projecting pin or lug 123 on the segment, and the otherextremity is secured to a fixed support. This elastic member tends tohold the segment in its proper position and to return the same to itsnormal position when the operating key has been removed as will be setforth.

Projecting preferably from the base 38 of the casing on each side of andin close proximity to the recorder Wheels, are posts 127, (see Fig. 8)upon which are rotatably supported inking ribbon spools 128, and aninking ribbon 129 passes from one of these spools 128 to the oppositespool, and the ends of the ribbon are secured to the respective spoolsin any desired or suitable man ner. The spools are removably supportedupon the respective parts in any desired or suitable manner, and theribbon in extending across from one spool to the other stands adjacentthe periphery of the various recorder wheels and the segment 122, andmay if desired, pass under a suitable guide 130. The lower face of oneof these spools 128 is provided with ratchet teeth 131 (see Fig. 9), bymeans of which the spool may be rotated to feed the ribbon. If desired,an elastic member 132 may be provided which surrounds the post 127 andis disposed between the base 38 of the casing and the adjacent end ofthe spool to hold the spool spaced from the casing and to create thedesired friction or tension upon the spools to prevent racing. The otherspool may be providedwith a handle 133 (see Fig. l) by means of whichthe spool may be rotated to feed the ribbon back on the spool from theother spool. vAsimilar spool 134 is'arranged adjacent each ofthespools'128, and each is supported by a stud or post 135, and to thesespools is secured a strip of paper 136 in a similar manner as the inkingribbon, and the paper extends across the face of the recording wheelsparallel with and in close proximity to the ribbon 129. The spool 134adjacent the spools 128 which is provided with ratchet teeth 131, isalso provided with similar ratchet teeth 137, which are adapted to beengaged by a spring-controlled dog or pawl 138 lsee Fig. 9), pivotallysupported preferably by the back 38 of the casing t0 prevent retrogrademovementof the spool.

The spools 128,134 with the ratchet teeth are simultaneously rotated tofeed the paper and ribbon respectively from the opposite spools by meansof a gravity dog or pawl 139 engaging the ratchet 131, and aspringcontrolled dog or pawl 140 engaging the ratchet 137. The spring144 which controls the dog 140 is preferably secured to a fixed supportand the extremity of the spring rests against the dog so that when thedog is bodily moved the spring will slide over the dog. These dogs aresuitably pivoted to a sliding or reciprocating arm or member 142, whichis adapted to be moved by the movement of the bolt 36 to cause the dogsor pawls to engage their respective ratchets, andthe dogs and ratchetsmay be so arranged that the spools will be rotated the same distance tofeed the paper and ribbon equally, or one may be rotated to a greaterextent than the other, if desired.

The spool 134 which is provided with the ratchet 137, is also providedwith projecting circumferential teeth 143, (see Figs. 1 and 8) locatedpreferably adjacent the ratchet 137, to form tappets. A printing platen144 is pivoted within the casing as at 145, and is provided with arearwardly projecting portion 146, the extremity of which normallystands within the path of movement of and is adapted to be successivelyengaged and raised or tripped by the tappets 143. When the tappets 143pass out of engagement with the rearwardly projecting portion 146 of theplaten 144, the platen is adapted to be forcibly returned to its normalposition so as to strike against the type faces on the recording wheelsand segment and to force the ribbon and paper against the type so as toobtain an impression. For this purpose there is provided aspring-controlled arm or member 147, which is pivotally supported at oneend 148 upon a plate or support 149 which is supported by and spacedfrom the back 38`of the casing and held in position by means of suitablefastening devices 150. The arm or member 147 is provided with aprojecting portion 151, which extends under and is adapted to engage andrest against the platen 144. The other extremity of the arm or member147 is bent upon itself as at 152 to forma shoulder which latterprojects beyond the plate or member 149 and is adapted to engage againstthe edge of the plate to limit the movement of the member 147 in onedirection. An elastic member 153 is provided (see Fig. 1), one extremityof. which is secured to the arm or member 147 as at 154 at a pointremote from its pivot 148, and the other extremity is secured to anadjustable pin or bolt 155, which latter extends through a laterallydeliected portion 156 of the plate or support 159 and is screwt-hreadedso as to receive a nut or collar 157, which latter rests against thedeflected portion 15G of the plate for adjusting the member 155 to varythe tension of the elastic member 153.

The normal tendency of the elastic member 153 is to hold the plate 144against the type, and as the tappets 153 are rotated the platen will bemoved away from the type Which will rock the member 147 to move thelatter about its pivot 148 and against the tension of the elastic member153. )Vhcn the tappet passes out of engagement with the projectingportion 146 of the platen, the elasticity thereof will forcibly returnthe member 147 until the shoulder 152 engages the edge of the plate orsupport 149 and thereby cause the platen to impact with the type.

The arm or member 142 may be raised to operate the spools, in anydesired manner, but a simple and efficient means comprises a link 158,(shown more clearly in Fig. 9,) one end of which is pivoted as at 159 toa suitable support, preferably in the back of the casing, and adjacentthe bolt- 36, and the other end is pivotally connected to the arm ormember 142 adjacent the bolt 36'as at 160. Extending laterally from thelink 158 at a point remote from its pivot is a projection 161, on whichmay be journaled if roo desired an anti-frictionroller 162 and rWhich isadapted to be engaged by the extremity of the cam 41 when the latter isrocked 2so thatI during the movement of the cam 41 about its pivot 47 itvwill engage the antifriction roller 162 to move the link 158 and itsassociated parts in one direction about its pivot and in such adirection as to cause the dogs 139, 140 to impart one step of rotationto the respective spools. lThe link 158 and member 142 is moved theopposite direction preferably by) `means of an elastic member 163, oneextremity o'fwhich iszsecured to the arm or member 142 and the other toasuitable fixed support. In prder to lock the tappets 1443 fagainstoverthrow and to arrest/the movement thereofl Aafter it has passed out fengagement'with theprojection 146 on`Y the platen 14.4, la suitablelocking means may be provided, YWhiehpreferably comprisesa projection`ornextensionl 164 'on the 'free' 'extremity of the link 158, so

that when the link is raised, this projection 147 will pass into 'thepath of movement fof the tappet to prevent 'further rotation thefeof- ,l

The free extremity of the arm or member 142 is rpivotally connected asat 165 to an arm or lever 166Which is in turn Ipivotally connected as at167 atone end t,o asuita .bleJ fixed support `rpreferably 'the back 38ofthe casing. The other extremity 168 of the'a'rm 166 preferably extendsbeyondthe pivot 165 and projects into a suitable guide 0r way, I v H vFigs. 8l and 18) .preferably in the form of amediate its ends'as at 171and 4Wit-h its lower 5: extremity 172 extending across the opening 4921inthe cam or tumbler 49. The other end of the arm extends upwardly andis otlset as at 173 (see Fig. 2) and the extremity thereof terminatesadjacent the lug or pro` j ection 123 on the segment 122. i lf desired,this extremity may be enlarged as at 174 (see Fig. 9). When the lowerextremity 172 is moved to one side, in a manner to be described, theextremity 174 Will engage the pin or projection 123 and rock the segment182 against the tension of the elastic member or spring126 acorresponding distance, and when the free end is released, the springwill return the segment to its original normal position. ,A suitablestop 175 may be provided for limiting the movement of the segment 122 inone direction. A Y

`Extending into the aperture 49a of the tumbler 49 (see Fig. 7) arediametrically opposed projections 176, which are adapted to entercorresponding grooves 177 in the barrel or body 178 of the cam or memberwhich is provided With 'stepped conical -portionsv179 and a reducedextremity 180 (see Fig. 4). This member is adapted 'to movelongitudinally in the cam or tumbler 49 and is held from displacement inany desired or suitable manner. An elastic member 181, such as a springor the like, is arranged to engage the extremit f 180 on Ithis memberand yieldingly hold t e same forward. The specific construction andoperation, however, of 'this stepped cam or member 178 form 'no part ofthe present invention. Suffice it' to say that when the various keys areinserted in the barrel or body portion thereof throu A"n the tubularmember 182 the member may e pushed backwardly, and the distance of suchmovement of the member is regulated by t-he 4respective 'keys and thevarious Asteps on lthe cam or, valve correspending lwith Xthe respectivekeys to cause tie stepped portions to engage and move the freeextremit'yh172 of the arm 170, and thereby 'move the segment 122 Vabout.its pivot to cause 'the corresponding type125 to be placedin alinementivith the operative eharaeters 'o f'l'the 'recorder lWheels above theprisa-grssen 14a, j 'en 'the key is fremoved, the spring 181 willretract or move the barrelbr body 178 forward again to throwfthe steppedportions out of alinement ewith 'the end 172 of the arm 170.

The 170 'may be rocked to move vthe segment 127'2wl1en the shaft 57 isrotated through themediiim of the additionalv cam 65, landjin order toaccomplish this end 'the shaft 57 is preferably provided with a recessedportion 183 Awhich lis flattened, and this 4recessed portion ispreferably located adjacerit 'the cam 58. A hmember 184 (see bell-ciganklever, is-pivotally supported as at- 185. O'ne arm 186 of this 'memberis lprovidedivith a n flattened extremity 187, which extends into therecess 183 so as to rest against the flattened bot-tom thereof. Theother arm 188 ofthe member 184 Vis deflected laterally at its extremityas at 189 to project across the extremity 172 of the arm 170, so thatwhen the shaft 57 is rotated in the manner already set forth, the member184 will be rocked to cause the laterally projecting extremity 189 ofthe arm 188 to move the arm 170 about its pivot to adjust the segmentand the recess 183 andthe coperating flattened portion 187 vof the arm186 is so proportioned lthat the segment 122 will be correspondinglyadjusted to indicate the particular key employed for the operation. e p

The enlarged portion 37 of the bolt 36 is preferably cut away as at190,(see Figs. 9 and '14) so as not to interfere with the rotation of thetap-pets 143 and the ratchet 137.

It is thought that the operation of this portion of the mechanism willbe clearly understood from vthe above description, but `briefly statedit is as follows: Each time the circuit is completed 'theelectroresponsive devices 111 will Vbe energized and attra'et thearmature 116 against the tension isc of the elastic member 121, to raisethe arm 106 to a position to engage the next toot-h of the coperatingratchet on the recording Wheel 75. When the circuit is broken Ythespring Will retract the armature, causing the arm to rotate the minuteWheel 75 one step. The minute Wheel Will rot-ate independently until ithas made 60 steps of rotation and as it approaches its 60th step, thecam 83 thereon'will move the extremity of the arm 86 to position the dog85 thereon to engage the next tooth of the hour Wheel 74, so that at thecompletion of the 60th step of rotation of the minuteV Wheel 75 the hourWheel 74 will be advanced one step of'rota tion. As the hour Wheelapproaches its 24th step of rotation the cam 81 secured thereto Willrock the arm 94 to position the dog 93 to engage the next tooth of theratchet 84 on the days-oftheweek wheel 7 6, and after it has completedits 24th step'of rotation the days-of-the-Week Wheel will be advancedone step. In the present exempli- Iication of the invention a completecycle of movement ofthe hour Wheel 74 comprises 24 steps of rotation,indicating the 24 hours comprising a day and a. night.` This operationis continuous so thatwhen a key is inserted into the tumbler or barrel178 and rotated, the cam 41 will be rotated to shift the bolt 36. As thebolt is shifted, thev cam 41 moves about its pivot and its extremity 44Will engage the anti-friction roller 162 on the projection 161 of thelink 158, and move the arm or member 142 in a direction so as to advancethe ribbon and tappet and at the same time cause one of the tappets 143to engage the projection 146 on the platen 144. As the tappet passes outof engagement with the extension, the elastic member 153 will exert itstension on the member 147 to throw the platen forcibly against the typeon the recording Wheels to obtain an impression therefrom. The rotationof the key to operate the bolt will also adjust the segment 122 toposition the letter or character thereon corresponding to the key usedwith respect to the active characters on the recording Wheels. As theprojection 44 on the cam 41 passes the anti-friction roller 162 on theprojection 161 of the link 158, the link will be lowered by the elast-icmember 163 s0 that when the bolt is operated in the opposite direction,the link 158 will be again raised, and the same operation Will berepeated so as to obtain a record of the time that the bolt was moved inone direction and also when it was moved in the opposite direction.

The individual keys for operating the bolts by shifting the cani 41 aredifferentiated from each other by a slight difference in the length oftheir operating ends, such difference in each inst-ance being equal tothe height of one of the steps 179 on the tumbler 178. The same recordwill be obtained of an individual key which is employed to rotate theshaft 57 and to operate the bolt through this medium and in thisinstance the character on the segment 122 designating this key will bepositioned With respect to the active faces on the recording wheelsV ina similar manner.

In order to provide a means whereby a record may be obtained Withoutoperating the bolt 36, such for instance as a key in the hand of anoutside Watchman, suitable mechanism may be provided for producing thisresult and also for locking the bolt against advancement when thisparticular key is employed to obtain the record. For this purpose thereis provided a key barrel 191 which projects from the outer face 35 ofthe casing and is arranged preferably above the recording Wheels andsegment. Seated Within this barrel is a socket member 192 (see F igs. 19and 22), the bottom of Which is reduced as at 193, and is journaled inthe front of the casing 35 so as to extend through to the opposite sideof the front 35. Secured to and rotatable with this member 192 is acrank 194, Which is fastened to the member in any desired or suitablemanner, preferably by means of a fastening screw or bolt 195 passingthrough and into the member 192. (See also Fig. 9). The latter isprovided with a laterally projecting pin or portion 196 which extendsunder an arm 197, which is pivoted intermediate its ends as at 198. Oneextremity 199 of the arm 197 is adapted to be engaged by the pin orprojection 196 as the crank 194 rotates, and as this extremity is movedin one direction against the tension of an elastic member 200 theopposite end 201 of the arm is moved in the opposite direction. Securedto and depending from the arm 197, preferably adjacent the end 201, is arod or member 202, the free extremity 203 of which terminates adjacentthe bolt 36. Projecting from one face of the bolt 36 is an extension204, and this extension 204 is so arranged that When the arm 197 isrocked by the crank 194, the free extremity 203 of the member 202 isadapted to be projected into the path of movement of the extension 204on the bolt so as to lock the bolt against movement when the key 205 isinserted in the socket 191 to engage and move the socket member 192. Asthe crank 19 is thus rotated it will move into engagement with the lever166, which latter is located in the same plane as the crank, and thelever Will be rocked to actuate the member 142 (see Fig. 9). rl`heactuation of this member 142 will actuate the tappet 137 to trip theplaten 144 to obtain a record that this particular key has been employedto open the door or unlock the lock.

The key 205 and the coperating socket member 192 may be of any desiredor peculiar construction to prevent the operation of the crank 194 byany other than the proper key, but the peculiar shape or formation ofthe socket or key forms no part of the present invention. Suflice it tosay that the key 205 is of a somewhat different constructionthan thekeys inthe hands of the other employees or authorized persons.
